This C4 thriller series from Boardwalk Empire creator Bash Doran - her Brit TV first - is set in 1945 when Winston Churchill lost a general election to Clement Attlee’s Labour. America was horrified, fearing reds under the bed of the Brit establishm­ent. So, posh and naive Feef Symonds (Emma Appleton pictured) who’d trained but missed out on being a wartime spy, is recruited by sinister US agent Rowe (Michael Stahlbarg) to infiltrate the government as a secretary in the Cabinet Office - where steely Miss Garrick (Keeley Hawes) rules the roost. She’s also encouraged to seduce an idealistic new Labour MP ( Luke Treadaway) in hopes of looselippe­d pillow talk. But Feef discovers she can trust no one in this murky world where bodies can end up in the Thames. In which series did Keeley play a Govt minister? Entries to Alex Gordon, Traitors competitio­n.
